Purulent pericarditis leading to constrictive pericarditis is a rare but serious complication following invasive pneumococcal infection. Early recognition of this complication is crucial to prevent mortality. Here, we report a previously healthy child who developed constrictive pericarditis due to purulent pericarditis following necrotising pneumococcal pneumonia, which is not common in this current antibiotic and pneumococcal vaccine era. The child was successfully treated with pericardiectomy.
化脓性心包炎导致缩窄性心包炎是侵袭性肺炎球菌感染后一种罕见但严重的并发症。早期识别这种并发症对于预防死亡至关重要。在此，我们报告一名既往健康的儿童，在坏死性肺炎球菌肺炎后因化脓性心包炎发展为缩窄性心包炎，在当前抗生素和肺炎球菌疫苗时代，这种情况并不常见。该患儿通过心包切除术成功治愈。
